Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cung Le (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mills Perry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perry has chosen The Way I Am by Eminem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Cung Le had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luck Chiddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Ribeiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chiddell comes to the cage accompanied by Bulls On Parade. On his way into the cage it seems that Luck Chiddell has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Luck Chiddell seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
